Nalco 8457

For plant managers seeking a "set and forget" chemistry with decades of field validation, NALCO 8457 remains an excellent choice.

One humid Tuesday, the monitors spiked. A hairline fracture in a secondary line was weeping. Elias didn’t call for the hazard team immediately; he knew the pressure. Instead, he moved toward the leak with a wrench and a flashlight.

Chemical processing plant Problem: Severe corrosion (8–10 mpy) on carbon steel heat exchanger tubes. Copper pitting in admiralty brass bundles. Frequent leaks every 18 months. Solution: Converted from a low-phosphate program to NALCO 8457 at 60 ppm residual, with pH controlled at 8.0–8.3 using sulfuric acid. Results:

Nalco 8457 is an industrial water-treatment chemical produced by Nalco (an Ecolab company). It’s formulated as a specialty polymeric dispersant and scale inhibitor designed to control scale, corrosion, and particulate fouling in circulating cooling water systems and certain boiler and process water applications. Typical uses include cooling towers, closed-loop cooling systems, and some industrial process waters where mineral scaling and particulate deposition reduce heat transfer and system efficiency.

In the event of a leak, neutralize and absorb the liquid using inert materials (e.g., sand or earth) and dispose of it according to local environmental laws.
